Monday, Good morning world.

From the late 1830�s through the 1850�s, using millstones and a fan to push skyward the result, (The machine was invented by a person named Wood) one of America�s more famous philosophers, in a family business, made a product that could include bayberry wax and spermacetti. (It is not a candle). Apparently independently rediscovering a technology used by a German company, he by the 1840�s produced the best of these�even better than those of the British and French who were considered the best at this owing to geoglogy.

He called himself a teacher, surveyor, carpenter among other occupations. But his landlord wrote that his "fault" was ��he had no ambition.�

Who was this person

You are headed in the wrong direction

Think of other uses.

Hint:

Personally used the product in a number of applications. As Linda Ronstadt sang "traveled to the beat of a different drum" and was seemingly always in debt. Hated slavery.
